One thing I do know. This team isn't afraid of anything.
I don't. We should have kicked UM's ASS. But instead the team pissed down it's leg. That's just a fact.
You are right that's a problem. I don't recall the last time Self succeeded with a short guard. We are dooooooomed. :smirk:
Agree. This team has been a bit lucky so far. Slacking for long stretches against good comp will bite you eventually.
Please oh please.
And how close was KU to losing all those games? Pretty damn close. Though admittedly KU played really poorly against Duke and I would bet both teams would play better in a rematch. But yeah we are talking about a bunch of games that all could have gone either way.
If an AD falls in the forest but no one cares, does he make a sound?

@BShark That would be ok, but that wouldn't help us for next season as Waters would have to sit out his transfer year. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
No. He would be a decommit not a transfer. Like Tyshawn Taylor. Or like Mason and Graham as well actually. :+1:

@BShark I'm STILL not totally convinced Preston will ever put a KU uniform on. - -Hope I'm wrong. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Don't worry about it. Feel there would be a lot more smoke. I know where he played before, but he can easily put the work in at Oak Hill and make up credits.
Tfwiw but a Duke insider has said that KU is about to be officially OUT for Duval. Down to Duke and Zona and that Duke is ahead "by a mile". On the Duke 247 board.
Preston and Bragg are both good fits for the 4 in it imo.
Completely different team next year.
Markese is a pitbull. He is still 2 years away though.
They have a pretty similar statistical profile to KU. If you look at sites like Kenpom, they are ranked in about the same spot as us. I'm willing to hear the argument that they haven't played anybody but I would bet they do well in the tournament.
B12 tournament goal: no injuries
Topeka. I don't like WSU. I can recognize that they are a good team though.
Jairus Hamilton has officially been offered today.
Possible Bill Self spring time miracle: Georgetown fires their coach and Tremont Waters is available again.
He does. Who would he be replaced with at this stage? KU already has enough open scholarships they are trying to fill to be worried about pushing Bragg out the door imho.

Ford might be out of a job again. such a great year at St Louis..10-19, 61 points a game. Sounds about right!
Edit: then again I just saw he's got 3 transfers sitting out that will turn things around next season. We need him to tank next year so that Gordon rethinks what he did.
It's Ford, they will still suck next year. Baffles me that he continues to get recruits? What did he win with Nash and Smart? :sob:

@JayHawkFanToo What if Self remains committed to the 4 out, 1 in we see this season (though personnel-wise it doesn't seem as likely)? Or what if Mr. Preston appears to be a big hurdle to overcome at the 4? Lots of moving parts there.
I think the roster will dictate it. If he has enough good bigs, then we see a return to two true posts on the floor.
He is really good. I hope we don't get punked by Travis freaking Ford AGAIN. Dude is Self's kryptonite, always beats him for recruits...
Just outside Topeka my man.
2019 should be a strong class for KU. Marcedus Leech a 5 star stud from Missouri has an insane ceiling. Very athletic.
Not really about KU per se but figure we are talking about the tournament here. UK rounding into form...
Yep yep. If he is committed to KU by his SR year and still playing at Hayden you can bet I'll bet at some games. I drive by Hayden all the time when I'm going to shop.
He's not leaving Hayden no time soon
Really really hope he ends it with a championship. He has earned it.
This appeared in my twitter feed recently. Lookin good Markese.
Depth is only an issue in the tournament if you have guys foul out.
We'd take it too Frank.
Way way way too good for WSU or KSU.
He won't be going in the draft. I expect him to be back.

First video I've seen of Harvey. Yikes he's not very athletic. 4 year player that would likely be good by his Jr. year.
He is the type of program player that develops and thrives under Self. Exactly the kind of player I love to see in the program.
:100: There is no doubt Harvey is a KU fan. I don't think this was even considered a visit vs really he was just going to the game lol. Both him and JRE are too good that you can't wait around hoping for a top 15 player imo. Heck Harvey is rated ahead of Jacobs right now, but I don't think that will hold up. JRE thought about making it official after last late pm but the word is he is already a silent pledge.
I don't know where he is but maybe we should file a missing persons report.
Mentioned in the game thread but this kid was at the game last night:
I don't think he is one that Creighton swoops in and steals...
KU has never been in it for Knox.
Need another ball handler. Self can easily win the league and have this team in NC contention with Competent PG/Newman/Garrett/Vick/Cunliffe as the guards/wings and a post rotation of Preston/Bragg/Doke/Coleby.
McDuffie is WSU's best player. Looks like he can play in the NBA tbh.
I have a rule I don't tweet at players or recruits.
Great speech Landen.
Winning in a way which encourages bad habits. Still better to win than lose though obviously.

Kind of surprised Self told Graham to stay one more year. Maybe he is gone.

@DoubleDD said:
So the same people that predicted that KU would lose tonight are predicting a loss against the Shockers?
:fu:
I predicted a win tonight ftr.
Another theme is teams that slow down the pace. I'd like to avoid UVA if possible as well. That game would just be brutal to watch.
What happened last time? WSU plays hard ALL game.
Can't beat a team like Wichita State playing the way they did tonight.
Self is talking right now.
Self: “Devonte, wouldn’t it be special to come back next year and do a senior speech?”
Self: We slept walk for about 32 minutes.
When Mason left the game and hugged Self... Mason said Self told him he loved him and he's proud of him #kubball

Nice to see Josh get a curtain call. He earned it, unpacked his bags.
